Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.5.9.(1) and preclude dry standpipes on the basis that water would not be readily available to fight a fire in a building that has a dry standpipe system not connected to a water supply. This is to limit the probability that manual firefighting operations will be delayed, which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons.
